I have an address list that display

[JustKIDn]

I have an address list that displays correctly.

I would like to add options to modify (edit) an entry.

I was thinking about adding radio buttons. But my wife said I should just be able to click on the Last Name (like a link) and have it open another page.

Here is the line that I think I need to change;

echo($row["last"]);

I guess I'd need to make it a link and use the record number somehow.

Any ideas?

I recommend making it of the form:

<a href=&quot;yourscript.php?id=<id>&quot;><lastname></a>

Then &quot;yourscript.php&quot; can get the value of the record id from $_GET.

Thanks sleipnir,

I think that will work. However I haven't used $_GET before.

Do I use $_GET in the beginning of &quot;yourscript.php&quot;?

No. $_GET is one of PHP's superglobal arrays. Anything submitted to a PHP script via a get-method form (which sending values through the URL is), then PHP puts those values in $_GET.

For more information on $_GET and the other superglobal arrays:

I got it working now,

Figuring out the correct syntax was a bit tricky, but this seems to work good;

echo(&quot;<a href='choose.php?id=&quot; . $row[&quot;famID&quot;] . &quot;' style='text-decoration: none;'>&quot; . $row[&quot;last&quot;] . &quot;</a>&quot;);

And then in choose.php, I used;

 $_GET["id"]

to receive the info.

Thanks again sleipnir!
